does he know the hours?

I was fishing off a pier in lake champlain and makea perfect cast with a floating rapala, then i hear a huge splash I turn around to see my dads favorite old rod and reel combo sinking in 40 deg. water. and me with a floating bait the was nothing i could do. Then I was fishing with a brand new 6.6 ultralight doin a side cast unbenounced to me my friend walked up and i wacked him right in theback with my new rod and broke it over him he then fell forward in the water and was unbelievably ticked when I stopped laughing so hard I realized my 100dollar rod was busted. then I casted a popper with a good knot and hit the other side of this river, broke off, then one of my buddies went swimming.... found it... gave it back and I tied it on went for another cast and saw my lure foating away.... I felt so dumb...

good job man, im 15 too and I will be 16 soon btu this year I dewcided to buy my first BC and caught a nice sized bass on it as the first fish this summer on it with a horny toad, of course i have caught some more on it through the year but I love bait caster now

Well I was out fishing the other day and had a Bomber square A tied on... story short... the bill cracked halfway off in the truck on the way home There is a little triangle left and my question is that could i just take the rest of the bill off and would it work like that or should i just take off the hooks and trash it? I dont really care because it is a 2 dollar lure but i dont want to waste money.

I utterly despise swivels to th point that even if im ultralight fishing i would rather completely screw up my line with twist than use a swivel, it will knock out a guide on the rod or better yet it will hang up and when you snap your rod forward to cast your lure flys and hits the water and your swivel is still in the guides... whatever knot you choose will be a huckuvalot better than any swivel

Why buy a new boat? Why not let someone else devalie this thing for you?

Id say 6'6 med/heavy casting with mono or braid

Im located over around bucks and montgomery county. And I should probably check them out again, Thats where I bought my quantum baitcast and 2 other rods...

Alright well I have currently 5 rods and reels, 4 are spinning and one is casting... Here is the actions/ line weights all that good stuff... Quantum tenacity casting combo 6'6 Med action 8-17lb line (I run 12 pound trilene big game, in green) Mitchell Advanta spinning Med action 6'6 6-12lb line (I run 10lb stren mono) Leeland lures sore lip rod with an okuma sentry spinning 6'6 Fast light action 2-6lb line (I run 4lb trilene xl) Shakespeare UL spinning 4'6 2-6lb line (I run 4lb trilene xl) And a POS zepco spinning thats a really floppy medium that I have 12lb on (rarely sees use) (I run 12lb Pline flouroclear) Alright. so I suppose for being 15 this isnt too bad but really What do you think I should designate the rods I have as (crankbait, worm, topwater, etc) and also What is a good value baitcast combo or affordable rod and affordable reel, I want something nice but really can only spend about a hundred. Also I know that the fast action and ul isnt really standard bass tackle but its nice for some smaller ponds. So thank you for any input you have on this stuff.

In the pond typically will fish 2 spots I know hold fish, but i mayfish that spot for 10- 30 mins then maybe try the other spot and then go back i dont sit there and count casts...

Yeaa they look good for drop shotting

Well In the pond I fish the bass will usually go for a number 4 mepps I also threw a horny toad but to no availl. and My crankbait rod has 12 on it aha.

The owner twist locks are amazing hooks

im not gonan sit here and name baits, but probably a couple different new soft plastics some jigs another spinnerbait or too and then a larger variety of crankbaits and hard jerkbaits (rapala husky jerks)

"Yeah, the large ones arent active. That is why you couldnt get them on a mepps." Is that sarcasm?
